The landscaper’s hands are in the soil; their spring quote requests are still taken.
With the first fine days, requests for new gardens pour in while you are trimming a hedge at the other end of the county. The Alyas agent takes every request, notes the area and the type of work wanted, and books advice visits in your calendar.
What the agent does for you
Take spring quote requests: new flower beds, turfing, hedging, patios.
Note the approximate area, the town and the preferred period to prepare the visit.
Offer an advice visit slot and book it via Google Calendar or Cal.com.
Take requests for annual maintenance contracts — mowing, pruning — and pass them on with a summary.

Frequently asked questions
Does the customer dreaming of a new garden know they are describing their project to an AI?
Before talking about area, hedges or lawns, the agent announces that it is an AI and that the call is recorded. A customer who would rather speak to you can ask: the call is transferred to the number you have configured, or their request is noted for when you get back from the job. See also our guide to what the GDPR and the AI Act require.
A customer asks for a large tree near their house to be pruned: does the agent take the request?
It takes it if tree pruning is one of the services you have described to it, noting the approximate height, the access and how close it is to the house or power lines. If you do not do this kind of work, it can say so simply rather than recording a request you will turn down.
My work changes with the seasons: can I adapt what the agent says?
Yes: you change its information whenever you like, for example to highlight pruning and planting in autumn and new gardens in spring. Call forwarding remains managed through your operator, with no change of number.
No call or message left unanswered.
